Abstract

Building the collections of artifacts is a professional work in order to strengthen the warehouse of a museum, which is one of the most important missions of museums. An original collection of artifacts constructed will help us easily manage them in both quantity and quality to serve scientific research, educational and informational exhibitions of the museum. The collections are the pride and the measure of the value of each museum. Since set up, the Museum of History-Culture in the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University-Ho Chi Minh City always focuses on collection building. From the project “Invest for building artifact collections, improve research ability of the Museum of History-Culture", the museum has successfully built many collections such as Chu Dau ceramics collection, Dong son bronze drums collection, Binh Duong ceramics, artifact collections of ethnic groups in the North of Vietnam, etc. Among those valuable collections, Chu Dau ceramics collection is considered as one of the most valuable collections. This collection has 39 ceramic objects dated from the 15th Century belonging to Chu Dau ceramics found from ancient Cu Lao Cham shipwreck.
